DMC = Devil May Cry DMC 2 is not as bad as most people think. Yes, Dante isn't his usual trash talking demon hunter but think about all he's been though (I won't say too much for those of you who have NOT played DMC 1 or DMC 3). It takes place several years in the future and he can't be a bratty 20 something forever (Not that I'm complaining). Anyways some of the enemies are a pain because they are relentless and gang up on you but that's how it should be. The graphics are better than DMC 1 and the actions such as dodging, rolling, back flipping etc. make it more fun in that respect. One thing that does annoy me is when you jump to shoot at an enemy sometimes Dante will do Rainstorm instead of just shooting the enemy head on. One other thing I do not like is Dante's Diesel outfits. They just do not look right on him, thankfully he does get his DMC 1 outfit back after you beat Dante Must Die mode. Speaking of Dante Must Die mode Argosax the Chaos is definitely that in this mode! All parts of Argosax are active and make for some extremely intense moments. The same can be said for Trismaga. But that's on Dante Must Die mode. I liked the Desperation Devil Trigger when your on the verge of dying and Devil Trigger you go into a super devil form. It helped me out in a tight spot a time or two. Overall though the game isn't as horrible as people are always saying it is. Yes it didn't have a lot of the same themes as DMC 1 and there were a lot of easy bosses but I still enjoy it once in a while. All of the Devil May Cry games are different and I guess you just have to give DMC 2 a break and try not to compare it to DMC 1 so much.Read full review
This game was underrated by many ways: Bad camera angles, not much connection to the previous game, no Trish, very linear and random plot, and yeah, many things... but I'm not THAT bothered with the game, because face it, Dante can now do more moves and shoot multiple targets at once, and you play a new character named, Lucia(who happens to be the replacement of Trish). While the game's plot sidetracked from the first one, it still had a fair story of a new Baddie who took over the human world and you've got to stop him at all costs. I'll stop there, since I only played the game once and it really didn't really get to me quite as easily as the first one. But nonetheless, good.
Not one to pass up a potential great game I was one of the first to get Devil May Cry 2. What I ended up with was, at best, a rushed sequel. There are three main flaws that hurt this game. While there are good points they don't help much to revive this (for the most part) incomplete game. First of all is the level of difficulty, there is NONE! I beat this game overnight with out much joy having done so. The Bosses are not much of a threat and all of your powers are given. Second, those abilities that you get don't have much of an effect on the strategy of the game. Finally, probably the biggest disappointment is the main character's attitude and style. It's as if Dante is a former ghost of himself. The flare of the opening sequence of the previous game is gone until the end of the game. While these setbacks are annoying they don't destroy the game altogether. The graphics are top notch, one of the better looking games at its release. The ability to lock onto two targets and shoot straight down is a plus. (Even if aiming is difficult)There is a large amount of enemies to destroy with sword or guns. The second playable character offers a warm-up and a slightly different view of the games events. DMC2 for any fan of the original is a great disappointment. You're better off renting DMC2 and buying another action game.Read full review
There's nothing in this game that I love. The only reason I bought it is because I am a fan of the Devil May Cry series. The combat system makes it ridiculously difficult to pull off any good combos. In the first game, by the end of the first play through you could max out all your weapons. It took me three play throughs with Dante and four with Lucia in this game. From one upgrade to the next there seems to be no noticeable change in the strength of the weapons. The story line is nearly non-existent. Most of the time I did not know what I was fighting for or why. What little story there is is uncompelling and forgetable and the voice acting is pure cheese. There is no strategy to boss fights. Most of the bosses can be beaten by keeping your distance and firing your guns. The one good thing I can say is that the graphics are much improved over DMC1 and that although the voice acting is extremely cheesy it syncs up well with the movements of the characters. Not worth buying unless you are a die-hard fan of the series.Read full review
DMC 2 was not all that great, it was just something for me to do if i was bored and had nothing better to do. There are playable characters. you obviously start out with Dante on disck 1. However, Dante does not do alot of dialouge in this game. All i could ever remember doing was just going from mission to mission, doing all these senseless weird things. the whole combat system does slack off, you enemies die off quickly or move away swiftly, not giving you a whole lot of time of trying to get as much orbs as you can. the items in the shopping menu are a bit high!! it would take you forever just to get ONE level up on a simply sword or gun. after the New Game you have the choice of wearing ONE outfit that each of them have. personally i think Dante looks VERY good in those jeans...yum!!Read full review
